It was a rather lovely weekend! Unfortunately I didn’t take many
pictures…

Friday

Friday night Karen, Marissa, and I went to the opera! Karen and I try
to get season tickets every year (you know, in the 2 years we’ve been here) and
Rissa has been wanting to see La Traviata so she joined in the fun! The opera
was lovely and the music was beautiful! It was a fun night!

Saturday

Saturday was a good day. I had bought a KSL deal (I’m addicted to those
stupid deal sites!) for the Crystal Hot Springs and in true Erin fashion, it
was about to expire and I still hadn’t used it. So Marissa, Jane, Brie and I
made the trip up to the booming metropolis of Honeyville, Utah to go to the hot
springs. It was a fun adventure! We spent a little while at the hot springs and
then made a stop at Brigham City’s famous drive-in, Maddox, for a late lunch on
our way home.

Saturday night I went with Jeremy to a birthday party for one of his
co-workers. We stayed there for a bit, did a little grocery shopping after, and
then went home and had a movie night.

Sunday

Sunday was a typical Sunday. Church was good. I wish that we had
switched to 9am church though. I hate having church so late in the afternoon.

For dinner I made a fabulous lasagna! It was so yummy and now we have
enough leftovers to last pretty much the whole week. I also did a little bit of
baking. I had made a chocolate chip bundt cake to take to a Junior League event
but when I was taking it out of the pan, it completely fell apart. It was too
sad looking to take somewhere so it became our wedding cake for Sean and
Catherine’s wedding. Then to replace the cake (I still had to have something to
take to Jr League!) I made oatmeal butterscotch bars. Thankfully those fared
better than the cake!

Up Ahead

This week should be a good one-Ladies Dinner Club, Junior League, and
movie night with sister!!

Friday I had no things to do and the house to myself! It was kind of
wonderful! I put on my pajamas early, ordered my favorite pizza, and spent the
evening catching up on Revenge. Later sister and Sam came home so I hung out
with them and played a little bit of Just Dance. It was a lovely way to spend a
Friday night.

Saturday

Saturday was my actual birthday and it was a great day!! I went to
brunch with a handful of my favorite friends! It was a lovely way to spend the
morning-eating delish food with people that I love. I completely forgot to take
pictures at brunch so all I have is a couple of photos of some of us in the
parking lot. Cool.

Saturday afternoon was nice and relaxed. I hung out with sister and
took a nap. I love a good weekend nap!

Saturday night Jeremy took me out to Copper Onion. He had never been
and it did not disappoint! It’s such a fun non-Utah-seeming restaurant and
their food is awesome! Afterwards we saw American Hustle, which I have been
wanting to see for a while. It was a strange movie but I ended up really liking
it! Then it was present time! Jeremy spoiled me-he got me a couple of inside
jokey things and then he got me an awesome pair of cozy sweats since I’m always
stealing his. Ha ha. All in all it was a really great birthday!!

Sunday

My parents were out of town on my actual birthday so we did my birthday
dinner with them on Sunday! My request was tacos (yum!), 7 layer dip, and a red
velvet cake. My mamma made a great dinner and sister made a fantastic cake from
scratch!! After dinner we played trivial pursuit (best white elephant gift
ever!). I was winning the entire game except I couldn’t seem to land on the
right space. My mamma swooped in a won the whole thing!! It was a fun night and
fun to spend time with the fam.

Up Ahead

The week ahead is looking pretty standard: Jr League, the bachelor, and
more Jr League!
